Chapter 179 Nothing
Xie Changning saw it clearly. Gu Huaijin's wrist was as smooth as jade and had nothing on it.
What does this mean?
Gu Huaijin is not her son at all.
Even though she had thought about this outcome before coming here, her heart was still clenched into a ball, and suffocating pain flooded her heart. Her eyes were hot and she was in so much pain that she couldn't utter a word.
"I'm glad that Mr. Gu is okay." Mother Du saw it clearly, and even she felt very disappointed.
It would be great if Mr. Gu was her eldest son.
In her imagination, the eldest son should look like Mr. Gu, a gentleman with great talent.
Unfortunately, no!
Xie Changning didn't even know how she got out of the Gu family. She no longer had the heart to go back to the Su family.
Mother Du didn't know how to comfort her.
Tomorrow is the day when Shen Zhixu will be beheaded in public.
The carriage had not traveled far when Xie Changning suddenly raised her eyes. With a blank expression, she ordered, "Go to the Ministry of Justice Prison."
Doesn’t Mrs. Wu want to see her?
It just so happened that she also wanted to see Shen Zhixu off for the last time.
By the way, tell Wu about Shen Zhiyan and the others' situation.
I'm sure Mrs. Wu would be very happy when she knew this.
No matter how you look at it, these children of the Qin family are not upright at all!
Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou are cold-blooded and ruthless. Compared to them, Shen Jingshu is even more cruel and ruthless.
The few people who used to have a deep brotherly and sisterly love now all wish each other to die.
Didn’t Shen Jingshu want to open a dark hall?
She made her wish!
She was right in saying that with Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou's former status as sons of marquisates, their business would definitely be good.
She worked hard to raise them.
Now it's their turn to give back.
She has handed this matter over to Butler Zhao.
She wants to be the boss behind the scenes of the Dark Hall.
After arriving at the Ministry of Justice prison, Xie Changning first went to see Shen Zhixu. He was chained to the wall, covered in blood, and it was obvious that he had been tortured.
"Mother, can you please save me? Even though we are not related by blood, you raised me. Can you bear to see me die?" Shen Zhixu became excited as soon as he saw Xie Changning.
Because he doesn't want to die yet.
He was terrified at the thought that he was about to be beheaded in public.
He had tried every possible method in the past two days, but nothing worked.
Xie Changning was willing to come to see him at this time, which must be because she could not give up the mother-son relationship they had built over the years.
This is his only chance.
"Are you scared?" Xie Changning stood in the shadows.
Shen Zhixu couldn't see her expression clearly, so he nodded desperately, "Yes, mother, I'm very scared, scared to death. Please tell Lord Pei to change the public beheading to exile. I'm willing to do anything to save my life."
Xie Changning nodded slightly.
Suddenly, Shen Zhixu's eyes lit up, "Mother, have you promised me?"
Even exile is better than beheading.
Xie Changning said sarcastically, "It's good that you know to be afraid. I'm relieved now. Go on your journey tomorrow with peace of mind!"
She scoffed and turned away.
Shen Zhixu's eyes were bloodshot. He stared at Xie Changning's back with rage in his eyes and was about to curse Xie Changning.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, the guard beside him covered his mouth.
Mrs. Wu's situation looked even more miserable than his. The mother and son were separated by several cells, and they were afraid that they would never see each other again in this life.
She hung her head, looking as if she was dying, and her white prison uniform had already turned red.
The sound of the jailer unlocking the door was particularly clear in the dark cell, but even so, Wu did not react at all.
"Don't you want to see me? Here I am." Xie Changning stood in front of Wu.
Hearing her voice, Mrs. Wu finally reacted. She slowly raised her head, and when her eyes fell on Xie Changning, she was still a little bit incredulous.
"My children..." She suddenly became excited.
"I know you miss them very much. Don't worry, they are all fine. Tomorrow, Shen Zhixu will be beheaded in public. For a man as sinful as him, naturally no one will collect his body. After his death, it will be thrown into a mass grave and fed to the wild beasts in the mountains." Xie Changning said slowly.
"It's just right that he died. Xie Changning, I know I'm sorry for you, but Zhiyan and the prefect are innocent. Can you please help them? This is an easy thing for you." The chains on Wu's body made a jingling sound as she moved.
"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished yet! Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhizhou are now living in a dilapidated temple. The beggars in the dilapidated temple did them a lot of favors last night. After Shen Jingshu's lobbying, the leading beggar is going to open a secret shop and let the two of them serve the guests every day. Judging from their looks and temperament, I'm afraid they will soon be the top stars in Kyoto. They can be considered to be self-reliant, you should be happy." Xie Changning couldn't help laughing.
Mrs. Wu had just bitten her tongue, and her words were a little unclear.
She looked even more excited than before. "Xie Changning, can you help them? As long as you are willing to help them and give them a stable second half of their lives, I will tell you a secret, a secret about Shen Wenyuan. You must think carefully. If I die, you will be kept in the dark forever."
